Civilization 5 Getting Steam Workshop Support

Civilization 5 always had a pretty cool built-in mod download and installation system, but now, with the Gods & Kings expansion coming on June 19th, Firaxis has announced it's overhauling it to merge with Valve's
Steam Workshop. No date has been set yet, but it appears as though all Civ 5 owners will get the upgrade in an upcoming patch, not just expansion buyers.

We're thrilled to see Steam Workshop pick up momentum, as it shows developers everywhere just how popular mods can be and encouraging them to build it into their games. I'm personally hopeful that Firaxis' timely embracing of Steam Workshop means that XCOM: Enemy Unknown will have the same feature when it launches in October.
